Court documents filed Thursday show Jaimes Aung was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit international parental kidnapping.
Much of the indictment has been redacted, but it alleges Jaimes Aung conspired with his son Aaron to remove Aaron's daughter from the country instead of handing the child over to her mother.
According to the indictment, Jaimes Aung's Cadillac was used as part of the kidnapping.
Federal prosecutors allege Jaimes Aung also assisted his son in avoiding law enforcement detention "by exchanging coded/encrypted messages and warning [redacted] about the ongoing investigation and how to avoid detection."
